I bought this set 1 year ago and had it shipped to Japan to be able to lift with for a 1 year tour.

To put it simply I beat the holy hell out of this thing. 1-3 lifts a day on basically 2 sheets of plywood on top of carpet. I had no rubber to build a platform with so I was stuck with that.

This set held up against the weather (high humidity) and no signs of rust what so ever and over hundreds of drops on a less than ideal platform and there are no signs of wear or tear on any of the gear at all.

I HIGHLY reccomend this set. I know throwing a couple of grand is a big deal but trust me this set is well worth the $.
